Realms Update + 10.0 Land Selection

[Kaiser 2347]

 

Hello all

 

As of now, all new Realm Apps, as well as Lair Apps, are closed. As we grow closer to the new map’s release the Implementation Team has decided it is better we halt the creation of any more nations for this map. 

 

Soon shall be The Gauntlet. This is the process by which nations decide where they’re going on the next map. Let me explain how that works… 

 

First, ‘Brackets’. Based on the activity of the four weeks previous to the announcement of the new map, we have gathered together and ranked every nation, from most active to least active, on average. Activity past the announcement will not matter, only the weeks previous to the announcement. From this data, we will separate the nations into four brackets. The first bracket will be the nations with the highest activity, and most closer together in their percentage. Then the second bracket will be the next grouping with the closest percentages to each other, and so on.

 

The map is at the stage where we will begin showing it to each nation (NL + a few ROs or Builders), who will have about a week to fly around and explore the map to scout out a specific spot. When this exploration period is over, the first bracket will (with me holding their hands) decide on the locations for their capitals. The nations within the brackets will finalize choices together, so they must come to a consensus not to take the same tile as another nation. When this is done, the second bracket will choose their capital tiles, then the third bracket, then the fourth. When this is done, the first bracket may choose their remaining tiles. Then the second bracket, etc etc.

 

Where are you in this bracket? Well, I will be contacting each NL soon, and you’ll find out.

 

A few things to note:

 

If you get conquered before we transition that means you don’t transfer, obviously. Until then, we will act as though you will transfer.

 

Vansk, the newest nation to Aevos, will be in the lowest bracket by themselves. As they were just created, we do not have data on activity for them, therefore they will go last.

 

Nations will be able to indebt themselves to us (and the TaxMonkey!) to pre-purchase extra tiles, similar to Aevos. That means that vassals and their builds may exist on day one of the new map. However, which vassals, and where they go, is completely up to the NLs. More information on how many tiles each nation will get for free, the limit on pre-purchases, and costs will be given out during the Gauntlet.

 

Lairs will be choosing their location with our good ST Admin Squakhawk. Lair selection will all be done in their own bracket following nation selection, with locations picked via first-come, first-serve. Lairs going to the next map have been determined already by the ST. Lairs cannot be within nation tiles, or on the same tile as another lair:

Lichtenwald

Tor’praeth

Mul’naar

Black Sepulchre

 

Lairs which have applied but not yet been accepted/denied (Blighted Crypts, Mivtahza Insurgent) will be automatically grandfathered to the next map should they be accepted, similar to Black Sepulchre.

 

Lairs which are not transferring to next map include:

Serpent (inactive)

Belvedere (destroyed/inactive)

Lumbridge (destroyed)

Mothergrove (inactive)

Conclave of Whispers (inactive)

Skjoldenhold (inactive)

 

Inactivity refers to having less than Lair’s already lax monitoring and requirement on roleplay or usage of the lair and is indistinguishable from passive tile activity from even the most remote spots on the map. 

 

If you happen to want to make a realm in the new world, the Realm Apps will be open one month after launch.
